3.2.3 Segments and lines
The internal system connection is divided in 2 segments and, due to this division, is operable with
longer line lengths and a larger number of modules.
Sockets 0 and 2 belong to the left segment of the internal system connection; sockets 1 and 3 belong
to the right segment.
If modules are connected to an associated socket x, this is referred to as a connection to line x,
whereby x corresponds to the related socket number. For example, Line 0 for Socket 0, Line 1 for
Socket 1, etc.
3.2.4 Maximum expansion
The maximum expansion per segment is 30 m. The lengths within the line are freely selectable, how-
ever, the sum per segment must not exceed 30 m!
The following illustrations shows an expansion example:

3.2.5 Number of components
Max. 32 expansion modules per bus node are possible (16 per segment). The modules can
be connected to the segments in any arrangement, however, not more than 16 modules per segment.
